Whether you’re across the pond and want to be able to stream stuff you’re only able to stream at home, you want to severely limit your exposure on the web, or you want to try to dodge litigious content providers, Opera turns setting up a secure, globe-hopping connection into a quick trip to the settings menu.
The ever-underrated Opera ( Windows, Mac, Linux)–again, not new but exceedingly rejuvenated in 2016–did the unthinkable this year and piped a free, unlimited VPN right into its web browser. Virtual private network connections: cumbersome to set up and expensive, yes? No. Once you’re up to speed on the day’s events, the app offers up additional fun-fact stories hell-bent on making you smarter in general: how the moon was formed, how high schools got started, how fire works that sort of stuff. It’s easily digestible, easily swipe-able, and… fun? Hardbound somehow makes news fun. Imagine getting a daily roundup of news wherein each story is broken up into a five-minute series of flashcards: mostly images, with a little text here and there. Hardbound ( iOS) can be kinda tricky to explain but it’s nothing if not unique.
